I must say that I am overall happy with my results this far. I admit that there were times I got discouraged with all the swelling but I do realize a tummy tuck is a major surgery and it just takes time to be fully healed. Even though I am back to my normal routine I still know I am not fully healed on the inside and that is the reason for the swelling. I still have numb areas above my incision so I continue to massage the area. Every now and then I get a tingling feeling too but nothing too drastic. I love the fact of being able to put on what I want and not have to worry about looking 3 months pregnant. It's a great feeling!!

Hello Everyone! I must say this has been quite a journey but I am really glad that I went through it. I do still have swelling in the evenings and night but other than that I am happy with my results so far. I have begun doing an intense massage of my stomach every night for about 15 min and this has helped alot. All of the hard areas of my stomach are soft now, although I have a little soreness from the massages.I have included a new pics, any questions, please feel free to ask!!

Hello All! I am 3 weeks post op and I am loving my results so far. I would love to see my incision but the steri strips are still on and I was told not to remove them. I am on my way to get a hematoma removed below my belly button above my incision. It has to be liposuctioned out because it is really hard. Other than that, I feel great. I mainly have swelling at night and in the evening. I have posted new pics so you all can see the results so far.

I have been very sick to my stomach. I think it is the antibiotic (keflex) because it happened again today when I took it. I don't have to take any more though. Last night I started to vomit and held my stomach but I still feel like I ripped something. Fortunately it was just one quick incident. I'm
going to call my surgeon and let him know.

The same thing happened to me. I vomited the first two days straight and felt sick to my stomach the whole first week. My problem was not enough food on my stomach to be taking all the meds. Once I started tolerating more food I got better. Good luck and that stage will pass.

I feel better now but worried about the stiches. I think I felt a rip and it really worries me. To think one gut wrench could mess up the end result would be awful. It's not like I could have controlled it.

Dont worry. I felt the same way. I read somewhere that you will feel a burning sensation and a bad pain if you ripped your internal sutures.

It looks as if your doctor did a GREAT job! you really look good. I really appreciate how low he was able to get your scar!! Money well spent!!!

I had my 2 week post op yesterday. They took out my staples so I no longer feel like I am being poked anymore. The incision looks great and I couldn't be happier with the results. I was so scared to have the TT and the drains. I didn't even know they took the drains out!
I had some juvederm ultra injected into my deep lines around my mouth and fainted. I am so happy with the results though. I have a little bruising from the injections which I hope goes away soon.
I love my new tummy!
